Azure file sync, avoid duplicate files
Hello guys, I've a share with 2 server endpoint with Cloud Tiering enabled in Azure file sync environment, unfortunately on this share are created duplicate files with the name of the server endpoin...
Azure File Sync does not provide support for endpoint prioritization or failover mechanisms. Within a sync group, all server endpoints operate as peers. Consequently, if the same file is accessed and modified on multiple servers, conflict resolution may result in duplicate files, each appended with the corresponding server name. To mitigate this issue, it is recommended to architect the environment so that users consistently connect to a single authoritative endpoint or directly to the Azure file share rather than attempting to impose priority across multiple servers.
